Target type: molecularfunction
Binding to a retinoic acid-responsive element, a variable direct repeat of the sequence PuGGTCA spaced by five nucleotides (DR5) found in the promoters of retinoic acid-responsive genes, to which retinoic acid receptors bind. [GOC:jl, GOC:vw, GOC:yaf, PMID:11327309, PMID:19917671]
Retinoic acid-responsive element binding (RARE binding) is a molecular function associated with proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences known as retinoic acid response elements (RAREs). These RAREs are typically found in the regulatory regions of genes that are controlled by retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A.
RARE binding proteins, often referred to as retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs), are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily. These receptors act as transcription factors, meaning they influence the expression of genes.
When retinoic acid is present, it binds to its corresponding receptor, causing a conformational change in the receptor protein. This change allows the receptor to dimerize with another receptor, either another RAR or an RXR. The dimerized receptor then binds to a RARE in the DNA, initiating gene transcription.
The process of RARE binding and subsequent gene regulation is essential for various developmental processes, including embryonic development, cell differentiation, and tissue homeostasis. Retinoic acid signaling is involved in regulating the expression of genes involved in cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.
Therefore, the molecular function of RARE binding encompasses the intricate interplay of ligand binding, receptor dimerization, DNA recognition, and transcriptional regulation, ultimately impacting gene expression and cellular processes crucial for development and homeostasis.'
